Profile clamp with pre-positioner

a technology of pre-positioning and clamping bands, which is applied in the direction of flanged joints, pipe joints, mechanical equipment, etc., can solve the problems of difficult for the fitter to press the connection flanges together, the position of the desired line connection is only accessible, and the positioning or setting of these known profile clamps is relatively difficult in many application areas. to achieve the effect of facilitating the installation of profile clamps

Benefits of technology

This invention is a tool that makes it easier to install profile clamps. It helps to position the clamps in the correct place, making the installation process easier and more efficient.

Problems solved by technology

However, positioning or setting these known profile clamps is relatively difficult in many application areas.
Particularly in the case of constricted spatial conditions, it can be difficult for the fitter to press the connection flanges together while placing and holding the profile clamp in position and closing it.
Moreover, in the application area of automobile engines, it can occur that the position of the desired line connection is only accessible from one side.
However, such a pre-positioner would be unsuitable for a profile clamp for many reasons.
Furthermore, the noted tips for attaching the spring band clamp to a hose are unsuitable for applications of profile clamps, as a puncturing of the line there could lead to a leak.

Embodiment Construction

[0044]The particulars shown herein are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of the embodiments of the present invention only and are presented in the cause of providing what is believed to be the most useful and readily understood description of the principles and conceptual aspects of the present invention. In this regard, no attempt is made to show structural details of the present invention in more detail than is necessary for the fundamental understanding of the present invention, the description taken with the drawings making apparent to those skilled in the art how the several forms of the present invention may be embodied in practice.

[0045]FIGS. 1-3 show a profile clamp 1 with a clamping band 2 and a pre-positioner 3. The profile clamp 1 in a closed state surrounds respective connection flanges 4, 5 of two lines 6, 7. In the illustration, while only flange 4 of line 6 is shown, it is understood that line 7 includes a flange 5 facing and arranged again...

Abstract

Profile clamp and method of connecting two flanged pipes or lines. The profile clamp includes a clamping band having two flanks; and a pre-positioner having at least one attachment section and being connected to the clamping band. The at least one attachment section runs axially beyond one of the flanks and radially inside the two flanks.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of German Utility Model Application No. 20 2013 001 224.2, filed Feb. 7, 2013, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Embodiments of the invention relate to a profile clamp with a clamping band and a pre-positioner. The clamping band includes two flanks and the pre-positioner is connected to the clamping band and has at least one attachment section.[0004]2. Discussion of Background Information[0005]Profile clamps are normally used to connect two lines that have connection flanges at their ends. Such profile clamps typically surround the two connection flanges on the front faces thereof facing away from one another and thus press the connection flanges against one another. The profile clamp normally has a V-shaped profile for this purpose. During the tightening of these ...
